NM Foundation asks: How Can Pro-Youth Economists Best Remember Decade Since 9/11

We started to discuss this with 50 pro-youth supoorters at the boardroom of The Economist last november at a remembrance celebration of Europe's leading pro-youth economists also known to me as dad.

Norman Macrae Foundation response to this question is to invite everyone who cares to survey what can be youth's 50 most exciting and productive project action networks of the 2010s. We are visiting various worldwide hubs where we map what exciting youth productivity projects are being freed by leading pro-youth economists and technologists who beleive the net generation can unite 10 times more productivity around the world's communities than ever before

Our survey of what excited the Nobel Peace judge in june 2008 to praise bangladeshi youth as the number 1 inspiration of the job creating net generation isnt complete but you can see pour progress at social business curriculum

Who would you trust to be more grounded- to renew food security to every community in usa - Alabama youth like these above or US Congress? So why have we the peoples of these united states sat by on our tv couches and let globalisation since 1984 devalue massive open collaboration by those who rule with vested interests inside This Town..

prep for Darrell West meeting - what open online curricula does he most connect with - he hosted event at brookings that was first tie I had listened to Coursera's Daphne Koller. Here is an extract from this sampler download of his bookdigitalschools_chapter.pdf, 325 KB on digital education

:

In a 1915 book titled Schools of Tomorrow, the educator JohnDewey complained that the conventional public school “is arranged tomake things easy for the teacher who wishes quick and tangible results.”1Rather than fostering personal growth, he argued, “the ordinary schoolimpresse[s] the little one into a narrow area, into a melancholy silence,into a forced attitude of mind and body.”2In criticizing the academies of his day, Dewey made the case that educationneeded to adopt new instructional approaches based on futuresocietal needs. He argued that twentieth-century schools should reorganizetheir curricula, emphasize freedom and individuality, and respondto changing employment requirements. In one of his most widely quotedcommentaries, Dewey warned that “if we teach today’s students as wetaught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.”3Writing nearly a century ago, Dewey could not have envisioned thecurrent world of the Internet, electronic resources, digital textbooks,interactive games, social media, and robotics. Yet his basic messageremains highly relevant today. If schools do not reinvent themselves toengage students and train them for needed areas, it will be difficult tocompete in the global economy.Imagine an educational system in which pupils master vital skillsand critical thinking in a collaborative manner, social media and digitallibraries connect learners to a wide range of informational resources,student and teacher assessment is embedded in the curriculum, and12 New Models of Educationparents and policymakers have comparative data on school performance.Teachers take on the role of coaches, students learn at their ownpace through real-life projects, software programs track student progress,and schools are judged by the outcomes they produce.4 Rather thanbeing limited to six hours a day for half the year, this kind of educationmoves toward 24/7 engagement and full-time learning.5

Dad (Norman Macrae) created the genre Entrepreneurial Revolution to debate how to make the net generation the most productive and collaborative . We had first participated in computer assisted learning experiments in 1972. Welcome to more than 40 years of linking pro-youth economics networks- debating can the internet be the smartest media our species has ever collaborated around?

1972: Norman Macrae starts up Entrepreneurial Revolution debates in The Economist. Will we the peoples be in time to change 20th C largest system designs and make 2010s worldwide youth's most productive time? or will we go global in a way that ends sustainability of ever more villages/communities? Drayton was inspired by this genre to coin social entrepreneur in 1978 ,,continue the futures debate here
